Rescue forces assisting 150 stranded hikers
Police say volunteers in the Carmel region search and rescue unit have been working to extract some 150 hikers who have become stranded in the Ma’apilim Stream, in the eastern foothills of Mount Carmel, due to extreme heat conditions.
A helicopter has located most of the hikers, the Israel Police says in a tweet.
